A seated man in a rust-orange sannyasi robe and a long rudraksha mala sits on an ornate silver-and-red throne chair with long dark hair, a white forehead band and a red tilak. A bare-backed attendant in white dhoti, with rudraksha bracelets and a gold bangle, bends over him, possibly anointing or touching his arm. Behind them hang garlands of yellow, white, purple and red flowers, and a brass vessel with flowers sits in the foreground. The scene suggests a ritual or honouring ceremony in a decorated hall. Swamiji (probable): the seated figure has long swept-back hair, a rudraksha mala and saffron robes, consistent with the page's reference to Swamiji.
